On the R-matrix realization of Yangians and their representations

We review the study of Hopf algebras, classical and quantum R-matrices, infinite-dimensional Yangian symmetries and their representations in the context of integrability for the N=4 vs AdS5xS5 correspondence.

We classify the finite dimensional irreducible representations of rectangular finite $W$-algebras, i.e., the finite $W$-algebras $U(\mathfrak{g}, e)$ where $\mathfrak{g}$ is a symplectic or orthogonal Lie algebra and $e \in \mathfrak{g}$ is a nilpotent element with Jordan blocks all the same size.

In this thesis, we study the cyclicity condition for an ordered tensor product of fundamental representations and the local Weyl modules of Yangians. We provide a sufficient condition for the cyclicity of an ordered tensor product $L=V_{a_1}(\omega_{b_1})\otimes V_{a_2}(\omega_{b_2})\otimes...\otimes V_{a_k}(\omega_{b_k})$ of fundamental representations of the Yangian $Y(\mathfrak{g})$. When $\mathfrak{g}$ is a classical simple Lie algebra or the simple Lie algebra of type $G...

We derive some new presentations for the Yangian associated to the Lie algebra gl_n(C) that are adapted to parabolic subalgebras. At one extreme, the presentation is just the usual RTT presentation, whilst at the other extreme it is a variation on Drinfeld's presentation. All these presentations play an important role in our subsequent article "Shifted Yangians and finite W-algebras".

We obtain an R-matrix or matrix representation of the Artin braid group acting in a canonical way on the vector space of every (super)-Lie algebra or braided-Lie algebra. The same result applies for every (super)-Hopf algebra or braided-Hopf algebra. We recover some known representations such as those associated to racks. We also obtain new representations such as a non-trivial one on the ring $k[x]$ of polynomials in one variable, regarded as a braided-line. Representations ...

An explicit isomorphism between the $R$-matrix and Drinfeld presentations of the quantum affine algebra in type $A$ was given by Ding and I. Frenkel (1993). We show that this result can be extended to types $B$, $C$ and $D$ and give a detailed construction for type $C$ in this paper. In all classical types the Gauss decomposition of the generator matrix in the $R$-matrix presentation yields the Drinfeld generators. To prove that the resulting map is an isomorphism we follow t...

We give a complete classification of the class of Lie algebras of simply connected real Lie groups whose nontrivial coadjoint orbits are of codimension 1. Such a Lie group belongs to a well-known class, called the class of MD-groups. The Lie algebra of an MD-group is called an MD-algebra. Some interest properties of MD-algebras will be investigated as well. The techniques used in this paper is elementary techniques in matrix theory and available to apply to more general cases...

Let g be a complex semisimple Lie algebra and Yg its Yangian. Drinfeld proved that the universal R-matrix of Yg gives rise to rational solutions of the quantum Yang-Baxter equations on irreducible, finite-dimensional representations of Yg. This result was recently extended by Maulik-Okounkov to symmetric Kac-Moody algebras, and representations arising from geometry. We show that this rationality ceases to hold for arbitrary finite-dimensional representations, at least if one ...

Novikov algebras are algebras whose associators are left-symmetric and right multiplication operators are mutually commutative. A Gel'fand-Dorfman bialgebra is a vector space with a Lie algebra structure and a Novikov algebra structure, satisfying a certain compatibility condition. Such a bialgebraic structure corresponds to a certain Hamiltonian pairs in integrable systems. In this article, we present a construction of Gel'fand-Dorfman bialgebras from certain classical R-mat...

We give a unified RTT presentation of (super)-Yangians Y(g) for so(n), sp(2n) and osp(m|2n).
